https://19-minutes.supercast.comThe August 12 USDA report could quickly reset the corn and soybean markets as harvest approaches. Chris Barron is joined by Daniel Elsner of Cargill in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to break down national corn yield expectations, possible acreage changes, technical resistance, and the market signals farmers should watch heading into August 10-14.The corn market appears to be trading a national yield near 182 to 183 bushels per acre. Daniel explains why a number above 183 could pressure corn prices, why nearby resistance may limit corn's short-term upside, and why November soybeans currently have a stronger technical setup. They also discuss how quickly an initial bullish reaction to the USDA report could reverse.For farmers, the conversation turns to decisions that cannot wait: clearing remaining old-crop grain, estimating bushels without storage, finding local basis opportunities, and placing target orders before the report. With harvest approaching and storage potentially tighter than usual, communicating with local buyers and planning around the local harvest window could be just as important as the report itself.Topics include:August 12 USDA yield and acreage changesCorn yield expectations near 182 to 183 bushels per acreTechnical resistance limiting corn pricesShort-term upside potential in November soybeansOld-crop grain still sitting in storageHarvest timing and local basis opportunitiesPre-report rallies, price targets, and working ordersManaging uncommitted grain before harvestGuest: Daniel Elsner of Cargill in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.Subscribe to The Ag View Pitch for weekly grain market analysis and practical farm marketing strategies.

Many patients with chronic, complex conditions feel like they've tried everything, yet they're still searching for answers. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mike Powell, a board-certified functional neurologist with more than 30 years of clinical experience, to explore why traditional approaches often fall short and what it takes to successfully care for patients whose symptoms don't fit neatly into a single diagnosis. We discuss the importance of looking at each patient with fresh eyes, simplifying complexity, and building a personalized strategy instead of relying on one-size-fits-all protocols. From functional neurology and Parkinson's disease to concussion recovery, sleep, and the foundations of chronic illness, we examine why lasting progress begins with understanding the individual, not just the diagnosis. We also dive into the role of patient preparation, clinical thinking, and the therapeutic relationship, offering practical insights for both healthcare professionals and anyone navigating a complex health journey. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or wondered why nothing seems to work, this conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on what it really takes to move forward.   Key takeaways: Complex patient cases often demand a personalized, fresh approach distinct from standard medical protocols. Preparation and understanding in patient-practitioner interactions are crucial for addressing chronic conditions effectively. Sleep, exercise, and foundational health factors play pivotal roles in managing and improving complex conditions. Hope and empathy significantly enhance the therapeutic process and patient commitment. Patients should resist the temptation of pursuing multiple simultaneous treatments and find credible, caring practitioners. More About Dr. Mike Powell: Dr. Mike Powell integrates brain science and chiropractic care to help patients with complex neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. His practice serves individuals with clear neurological diagnoses—such as ADHD, Parkinson's disease, neuropathy, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, and migraine—as well as those whose symptoms remain confusing, persistent, or unresponsive despite working with multiple skilled providers. Dr. Powell teaches doctors and therapists how to efficiently and effectively incorporate brain‑based clinical strategies into their practices. He has served on state association and regulatory boards, taught as faculty with the Carrick Institute, and has presented at more than 500 professional events. He has a passion for helping providers elevate their clinical impact. A second‑generation Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Powell practices alongside his wife, Kourtne, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Adam went from being given cocaine at age 12 and starring as the defensive captain of Columbine High School's state championship football team, to a homeless heroin addict who overdosed in 2015 - and has the police body cam footage to prove it. He's the only person I know of who showed their own dead body during a TED Talk. In this episode, you'll learn: Why a decade of 12-step meetings still left Adam unable to stay sober, and what the critical missing piece was The "wrong" sponsor who turned out to be exactly right - and why everything you've been told about finding a sponsor might be backwards The spiritual experience at an IHOP that marked the last day Adam ever used Why people like Adam literally die without the 12 steps being done quickly and rigorously How November 6th keeps showing up as the most important date of his life How his nonprofit is making sure nobody has to spend Christmas on a trap house floor calling treatment centers who won't pick up  

We've launched a new series as a spin-off of Stories Among Us with a focused theme: Practicing Our Faith. This series will highlight voices from within our community, sharing how each of us embodies spiritual practices in everyday life. Spiritual Practices are concrete activities to engage in to open ourselves to the transforming presence of God. Our Embodiment Sundays will offer guided ways to step into the practice together.Spiritual Practice Definition: Prayer WalkingPrayer Walking is the practice of praying while walking and intentionally being present with God in a specific place. As we move through a neighborhood, street, or community space, we keep our eyes open to what God is doing, allowing what we see and experience to shape our prayers. Rather than focusing only on our own needs, prayer walking invites us to join God's care and concern for the people and places around us. It is a way of paying attention, listening for the Spirit's leading, and praying with greater awareness right where we are.

It's a solo cast! It has been a while since it was just me and you, and I'm glad to be back in this format because I have some things to say. This episode was sparked by a moment that happened in March of 2026 at the You Conferences in Cedar Rapids. I was the 3:00 PM speaker and somewhere between the nerves and the sound check and a very unexpected karaoke moment involving Gloria Gaynor, something clicked for me about identity, confidence, and what it actually takes to build something from scratch. So I came here to share 10 things I know for certain about building a business. Not from books. Not from courses. From living it, for almost a decade, through the pivots and the wins and the moments I wish I could do over. This is Part 1. We're covering numbers one through five today, and Part 2 (six through ten) drops next week. In This Episode: The karaoke moment at You Conferences that reminded me to trust myself again Lesson 1: You don't need to reinvent the wheel at the beginning (the unsexy foundation every business actually needs) Lesson 2: Slow down. Then go even slower. But don't stop moving. Lesson 3: Your story is your edge (and why it creates fans before it ever creates customers) Lesson 4: Selling isn't yucky. Talk about your offers. All the time. More than you think you should. Lesson 5: You'll only make as much money as you've built capacity for Resources Mentioned: Gina Knox — money management framework for small business owners Chilled Freezer Meals — local and shipped freezer meal delivery Katrina Klooster — life and leadership coach You Conferences Cedar Rapids — annual women's conference Find Molly: Website: mollyknuth.com Instagram: @mollyknuth Listen and Subscribe: Spotify Apple Podcasts Part 2 drops next week.

Spider-Noir Editors – Jennifer Barbot, ACE; Tirsa Hackshaw, ACE; Eric Kissack, ACE and Geraud Brisson, ACE Although the editors of Spider-Noir may have all arrived at the series through different paths, they quickly found themselves working toward the same goal: shaping a superhero story that functions first and foremost as a noir detective tale. For Jennifer Barbot, Tirsa Hackshaw, Eric Kissack, and Geraud Brisson, that meant balancing 1930s atmosphere, modern pacing, dry comedy, stylized action, and the very particular energy of a Nicolas Cage performance. Created by Oren Uziel for MGM+ and Prime Video, Spider-Noir stars Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly, a down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York who is pulled back into his former life as the city's only superhero, The Spider. The series also stars Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Jack Huston and Brendan Gleeson, and is presented in both "Authentic Black and White" and "True-Hue Full Color" versions. For the editors, that dual-format release created one of the show's most interesting creative and technical challenges. The editors primarily cut in black and white, leaning into the shadows, contrast and classic noir language of the series, while visual effects reviews often revealed the same scenes in color. The result was a show that could feel emotionally different depending on which version was being watched, even when the underlying performance, rhythm and story remained the same. JENNIFER BARBOT, ACE Jennifer Barbot is an editor whose credits include Your Honor, Raised by Wolves, The Man in the High Castle, Jessica Jones and Dope Thief. On Spider-Noir, Jennifer was drawn to the show's mix of noir style, superhero mythology and emotional character work, as well as the opportunity to help establish the tone of a world that had to feel both period-inspired and contemporary. TIRSA HACKSHAW, ACE Tirsa Hackshaw, ACE has worked across a wide range of television and film projects, including One Piece, Kung Fu, Jupiter's Legacy, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and The Punisher. Having previously worked with Steve Lightfoot on Marvel's The Punisher, Tirsa came to Spider-Noir with both a love of the noir genre and a deep appreciation for the Spider-Verse, making the show a natural fit for her interests as an editor. ERIC KISSACK, ACE Eric Kissack, ACE is an editor and director whose work includes The Good Place, Veep, Black Monday, Rutherford Falls, Pam & Tommy and The Studio. He has also edited feature comedies such as Role Models, Brüno, Cedar Rapids, The Dictator, Horrible Bosses 2, Daddy's Home, Instant Family, Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar and Bottoms. On Spider-Noir, Eric was especially interested in the show's dry, organic comedy and in finding a rhythm that allowed the humor to breathe without undercutting the detective story. GERAUD BRISSON, ACE Geraud Brisson, ACE is a French-American film and television editor whose credits include CODA, The OA, Counterpart, This Close, Shantaram and Lessons in Chemistry. Having previously worked with Steve Lightfoot on Shantaram, Geraud was excited by the chance to explore a superhero-oriented story through the lens of noir. His work on Spider-Noir included sequences that blended action, subjective sound, visual effects and classic film references into the show's distinctive style.   Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs Hear Eric discuss his work on THE STUDIO Listen to Geraud discuss cutting Best Picture Oscar-winner CODA Subscribe to The Rough Cut podcast and never miss an episode Visit The Rough Cut on YouTube

This is Brooke's third time on The Found Podcast. Every time she comes back, she brings something that stops me mid-conversation and makes me reach for my notebook. Brooke Fitzgerald is the Energy Builder at The Restoration Project in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and as of June 1st, she becomes the sole owner of the practice. She's a coach, a speaker, a mom of two boys, a recovering people-pleaser, and one of the most convicted, passionate humans I get to have in my corner. In this episode, we dig into the work that has defined Brooke's last several years, both personally and professionally. We talk about closing a business, rebuilding an identity, and the deeply human question of: who are you when you're not defined by what you do? What You'll Hear in This Episode: How closing her coffee shop became the lowest (and most clarifying) point of Brooke's life What it actually takes to untether your identity from your work (hint: it takes longer than you think, and that's okay) The Path to Enough framework and why enough is a decision, not an amount The question that makes rooms full of women go completely silent: "Who are you when no one needs anything from you?" Why good enough really is good enough, and what we lose when we demand 110% of ourselves constantly Imposter syndrome reframed: it's not a flaw, it's your courage catching up to your capability The SEA tool for moving from imposter to intentional, and a story about a female CEO that will stop you cold What's next for Brooke and The Restoration Project, including fall retreats, empowerment communities, and a November workshop Connect with Brooke: Website: the-restorationproject.com LinkedIn: Brooke Fitzgerald Upcoming Events with Brooke: MWLN Summit — Muscatine, Iowa (June) Fall Women's Retreats — details coming soon Power of No Empowerment Communities — small groups of 6-8 women November Brunch & Learn Workshop — The Path to Enough for Courageous Leaders Listen & Subscribe: Spotify Apple Podcasts If this episode resonated with you, share it with a woman who needs to hear it.

In Episode 187 of Facts vs Feelings, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, and Sonu Varghese, Chief Macro Strategist at Carson Group, ask the question on every investor's mind: Does today's market feel like 1999?The episode opens with genuine nostalgia. Ryan recalls tripling his play money on Sycamore and Juniper Networks before losing it all on margin. Sonu remembers 75% of his engineering class having job offers by August of senior year. The vibes were very different then.From there, Ryan and Sonu dig into the numbers raising eyebrows. Semiconductors now make up roughly 22% of the S&P 500, up from around 6% at last April's lows. A telecom ETF built around AI infrastructure is up 44% year to date. These are not boring numbers. But beneath all that heat, sentiment is in the toilet, breadth is holding up, and credit spreads are making new cycle lows in ways that look nothing like the quiet deterioration that began in 1998. Ryan and Sonu make the case that this is not 1999. Not yet, anyway.Then Sonu drops inflation data that deserves a second read. Computer software and accessories, where AI token and cloud spending shows up in CPI, is running at an 83% annualized pace over the last three months. The Fed has a real problem. Ryan and Sonu walk through why stable jobs plus hard inflation plus a dovish Fed still adds up to bullish for equities, before closing out with a stronger-than-expected labor market update, a preview of the US-China trade meeting, and a record-breaking Uber ride from O'Hare to Cedar Rapids.Key Takeaways:Semiconductor stocks and AI infrastructure names are posting numbers that feel frothy on the surface, but earnings growth and genuine demand provide far more fundamental support than the dot-com era ever did.The NYSE advance decline line just hit an all-time high. In 1998, it peaked 18 months before the market did. That divergence is not happening today.AI-related inflation is real and showing up in the data. Computer software in PCE is running nearly 60% annualized over the last six months. This is not just an energy or tariff story.The S&P 500 has posted six consecutive weekly gains totaling over 16%, the second best such streak on record. One year later, the market has historically been up 17% on average.The labor market is quietly stabilizing. Blue-collar sectors that were bleeding jobs in 2024 are turning around, and prime-age employment sits at its highest ratio since before the 2008 financial crisis.The longer the Fed delays action on inflation, the greater the Volcker-style risk in 2027 or 2028. The AI capex boom has driven roughly 45% of real GDP growth over the last five quarters. When that fades, the math changes.Jump to:0:00 — Welcome and the 1999 Question2:00 — College Memories and Dot Com Vibes6:20 — New Highs with Rotten Sentiment10:30 — Frothy Semis and Leverage Lessons15:50 — AI Infrastructure Trade and Sector Gaps22:40 — Breadth, Credit Spreads, and Bull Signals33:10 — CPI Heat from Tariffs and AI Bottlenecks41:50 — Fed Risks and When Booms Break49:40 — Payrolls Update and Blue-Collar Turn54:20 — China Trade Talk, Travel Chaos, and WrapConnect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enQuestions about the show?

Public education used to enjoy strong bipartisan support, but across the country, there's a growing push to offer students alternatives to traditional public schools. The idea behind “school choice” is that competition improves education. President Trump and Republicans have attacked public education for failing students and for being too “woke,” while Democrats who strongly oppose school choice often dismiss valid criticism of public schools.Today on The Sunday Story, NPR education correspondent Cory Turner travels to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to understand how school choice can change a city's education landscape. Are students better served when schools compete in a free market?You can find more of Cory's reporting from Cedar Rapids here.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
